Abstract: The system comprises at least one combustion chamber, an expansion turbine, an air compressor driven by the expansion turbine, and means for coupling the expansion turbine to at least one external receiver of mechanical energy. The system further includes means for injecting water to constitute a thermal ballast in the combustion chamber, the quantity of compressed air used remaining close to the quantity of oxidizing air required for stoichiometric combustion. These additional water injection means comprise: a) a mass and heat exchanger for exchanging mass and heat between the combustion products from a condensation recuperator placed on the path of the exhaust gases from the expansion turbine and incoming atmospheric air to enable the air to be pre-moistened prior to entering the compressor; and b) devices for injecting steam and liquid water between the outlet from the air compressor and the inlet to the burner, or into the combustion chamber after the combustion zone and before the first blades of the expansion turbine, the injected steam being produced by a steam recuperator-generator-superheater disposed on the exhaust gases immediately after they leave the expansion turbine, and the liquid water being obtained by recycling the condensed water produced in the condensation recuperator.

Abstract: Methods are provided for the establishment and maintenance in long term culture of hormone secreting cells. Cells are derived from tumorous or non-tumorous animal or human tissues, including ovary, endometrium, trophoblast, pituitary, thyroid, and pancreas. The cells secrete into the culture medium hormones such as estrogens, progestins, follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, human chorionic gonadotrophin, thyroxin, glucagon, and insulin, depending on the tissue of origin of individual cell cultures. Contact with an appropriate secretogogue causes the cells to respond with increased hormone secretion. For instance, ovarian follicular cells respond to follicle-stimulating hormone with increased estrogen and progesterone secretion. Pancreatic cells respond to elevated glucose with increased insulin secretion. The cells proliferate in in vitro for up to one year or longer, during which time they retain their hormone-secretion profile. The cells may be frozen for storage, and retain their hormone-secretion profile after thawing. The cell cultures are useful for the production of human hormones, for the bio-assay of drugs such as therapeutic gonadotrophin, for the testing of drug efficacy and design, and for toxicity testing of drugs and chemicals. The cells may also be implanted in an individual to replace deficient hormone secretion. For instance, insulin secreting pancreatic cells may be implanted in a diabetic individual as an adjunct or replacement therapy for exogenously administered insulin.

Abstract: Methods for detecting granulocytes and for providing an at least semiquantitative indication of granulocyte level and kits for implementing those methods. A blood sample is drawn, and components that might interfere with the assay are removed and/or neutralized. Granulocytes present in the sample are then disrupted to release intracellular myeloperoxidase, and the sample is contacted with a peroxide and a chromogenic donor dye. The myeloperoxidase enzyme catalyzes hydrogen peroxide-involved reactions which result in the dye changing color if, and to the extent that, granulocytes are present in the blood sample.
